Property Description
This meticulously maintained Lennar Grant model is one of the largest homes in the neighborhood and sits on a premium, nature-filled lot at the quiet end of a cul-de-sac. Located in Phase 1 of Embrey Mill—the only section zoned for Colonial Forge High School—this home backs to protected woods and offers unmarked access to over 10 miles of hiking and mountain biking trails. Enjoy seasonal views of Stafford Hills, the soothing sound of a nearby creek, and no headlight intrusion for ultimate privacy and relaxation.
Inside, every detail has been thoughtfully curated. The primary suite is privately positioned and features a coffered ceiling, an expansive walk-in closet, a spa-quality bathroom with a deep soaking tub, and a custom rainfall shower with bench seating. Blackout shades and smart dimmable light switches throughout the home create the perfect ambiance, and custom lighting enhances each space with both beauty and functionality. The walls are finished in premium Benjamin Moore Aura paint for a rich, enduring look, and many have recently been painted. Elegant crown molding in many rooms.
The home includes four generously sized bedrooms, including a Jack-and-Jill bathroom with a dual vanity and separate water closet. Additional bedrooms offer large closets and abundant natural light. A French-door office near the powder room on the main level provides an ideal setup for work-from-home professionals. An upstairs loft offers flexible space for a second office, media room, or playroom.
The kitchen is designed for serious cooking and entertaining. It features granite countertops, under-cabinet lighting, semi- custom cabinets, a spacious walk-in pantry, and GE Profile stainless steel appliances, including a gas cooktop and a double oven with a convection microwave combo.
The semi-open-concept living area is filled with natural light and showcases wide-plank engineered hardwood floors, crown molding, 9-foot ceilings, recessed lighting, and a gas fireplace. Smart lighting and dimmable switches throughout and wired ring floodlight cams..
The walkout basement includes a cinema/media room, a full bath, and a separate entrance. Ethernet wiring, blackout shades, and a spacious recreation area open onto a newly completed hardscape patio with a high-end smokeless firepit and cooking features—perfect for entertaining or relaxing in nature. A rear wall of windows offers uninterrupted views of the surrounding woods.
Outdoor features include a composite balcony with room for dining and lounging, seating for six Adirondack chairs, and a grilling area. A new full-glass Anderson storm door with a screened insert adds both style and function. Fresh caulking around windows and newly painted exterior trim enhance curb appeal, and new landscaping was added in 2024/25. Covered porch.
Over $30,000 has been invested in custom window treatments to complement the home's neutral palette. Two-car garage with sealed and coated floors, two-tiered storage shelving, and a conveying garage refrigerator are all included. The HVAC system consists of an April Air unit, and the high-capacity sump pump was replaced in 2025. The home features a generator-ready panel. There is a complete home and system warranty and a builder 10-year structural warranty is still in effect. FiOS high speed internet.
This home features $68,000 in builder upgrades and over $150,000 in homeowner improvements, offering a rare blend of privacy, luxury, and move-in-ready comfort in one of Northern Virginia's most desirable communities.
